The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 117

I've barely gotten a wink of sleep, my mind racing with all the possibilities of what my mother's safe could be holding for me. I go over the letter in my head over and over again, but most of it makes no sense at all. Why would she think that I would be in danger when we never lived in fear before, or maybe they had but hid it well from both my brother and me.

Tossing and turning in my bed, I finally say fuck it and get myself ready for the day at about four thirty in the morning. Ash won't wake up until around seven, so I still have plenty of time to get some work done in the office beforehand. Only, like my sleep, concentration doesn't come easily either, so I give that up as well.

I decide to go down and start on breakfast. I can't fuck that up too much, hopefully. Okay, so the only part of the breakfast that I can possibly make are muffins. It's the only thing that my mother really showed me how to make before the attack. Blueberry and chocolate chip muffins are the only two kinds that I can make, but I'm sure other flavors wouldn't be too difficult. In the end, I stick with what I know and I'm just taking the last batch out of the industrial oven when the kitchen staff comes in.

The three of them stop dead in their tracks, their mouths hanging wide open as they stare back and forth between me and the twenty dozen muffins laying all around as they cool.

Giggling, I place my hands on my hips, "I may not be able to cook but I promise you that the muffins are very edible; go on, try one."

The oldest of the three steps forward and takes a bite of the blueberry one that she chose. I can tell she was ready to hide her face, but then she smiles and covers her mouth when she speaks,

"Luna, they are delicious!"

I shrug, "My mothers were the best and I always worked hard to get them to be as good as here were."

"Well, I don't think she would be disappointed, Luna."

"Thank you! Now, I think I will get out of your way so you ladies can make the real food." I chuckle and toss the apron into the dirty laundry bin before I head upstairs.
